“In our engagement with the community, we are confident and we are satisfied that as we move forward, the people of ward 101 are going to support us and give us another mandate to continue governing in this ward,” said the party’s Bheki Ntuli.

At the same time, the DA said it also aimed to claim the ward.

“We always aim for a win. So, you don’t play to come second. We are aiming to win and if we don’t, we aiming to show significant growth,” said the party’s Christopher Pappas.
